When you hear about an adventurous, intelligent girl, you’ll think about Eleni. Eleni Sims is an 18-year-old born and raised in Madison, South Dakota. In her family, she is surrounded by her brothers. Her family consists of her mom, Camelyn; her dad, Steven; and her brothers: Elijah, Ethan, and Silas. When she is not at school, you could find her watching Criminal Minds, eating a medium-rare steak, or working at Subway. The most rewarding part of her job would be finally getting paid after working many hours.

Eleni has been a very busy person throughout high school.  She is involved in golf, cross country, FFA, and is a boys’ basketball statistician. Eleni is a talented golfer that has gone to state golf multiple times - all due to her hard work. She believes art and golf come easy to her because she is naturally good at both of them. Her favorite high school memories are the bus rides with the golf team, and she’ll miss that when she graduates. Throughout school, her favorite subject would be math. She likes math because “there is only one answer.” 

Eleni’s plan after graduating from Madison High School is to go to an in-state college and major in accounting. Her advice to her 10-year-old self would be, “don’t ever stop working hard and don't procrastinate.” She plans to become an accountant either in South Dakota or move to the beautiful state of Montana. In 10 years, Eleni sees herself married with a few kids and living in her dream house. If she had $5 million to spend she would buy a modern farmhouse and take care of dogs, goats, and chickens. One place she would love to visit is Santorini, Greece, because “Santorini is very pretty and I want to learn more about the culture.” Her bucket list includes skydiving and traveling to various countries.
